is it possible?

can Hepatitis A, B & C transmit through receiving Oral Sex if the "performer" have it?

*1 of the health center here in Malaysia said it is possible.

Ideally, you're supposed to learn these things BEFORE you have unprotected sex.  

Hep C is transmitted blood to bloodstream and isn't considered an STD - sexually transmitted disease.  There is virtually no risk there.

Get tested for Hep B.  

Hep A is not likely.  

Here's a good article on transmission methods for various types of hepatitis, this should help you figure it out for yourself.

thanks Trish for your response. i made a mistake & have put myself & my family at risk from my mistake 2month ago. i regret it everyday, i never expected thing happen this way.

btw, thanks for your answer

Most likely you are fine but for peace of mind just go get the simple blood tests and then you can let it go and never do it again.  Even if you did have hepc you would not be putting your family at risk....it's not that easy to catch hepc really you need blood to blood contact.

PS You said you got the HIV test so why not just get the HcV test?

[Fnzol]

You asked if it was possible.  

You didn't ask how likely.  

As others said, not very.  However, it's a good rule of thumb to remember that when you have sex with someone, you're having sex with everyone they have had sex with.

      hep A and C are VERY unlikey to be transmitted through sexual activity.

hep B is a classic Std and is easily transmitted through sex.  You can get a vaccine

for hep a and b.  No vaccine exists for hep c.  Get tested for hep b.  two months is

long enough for an accurate result.

Just got my Hep B & C test result I did on 89days PE last week. I list down the test & the result here;
1)Virology Hepatitis Serology (CMIA) for HBs Antigen - Not Detected
2)Virology Hepatitis C Serology - ANTI HCV Screen (CMIA) - Non-Reactive

So can I take it as conclusive & free from both Hep?

[zulkefli]

can anyone here confirm the test that I took for my Hep B & C above reliable & conclusive?

[SusieS2010]

Hepatitis A is definitely transmitted through sexual contact. The most common way to transmit Hep A is the fecal oral route. As a receiver of oral sex you are more likely to infect the other person if you have HAV, The good thing about hep A is that it is self limiting and does not become chronic. Still, it is often transmitted through oral sex.

[zulkefli]

wooww.. just know this! wonder why the doctor doesn't recommend the HEP A test to me ;)

[SusieS2010]

You would likely know if you got hep A as your liver enzymes would be very high and you would feel very sick. Why don't you get vaccinated for both Hep A & B?

[zulkefli]

I dont know anything & i don't know why the doctor doesn't recommend me anything. Plan to go to other clinic the next week
